Can taking a whole bottle of ibuprofen kill someone If not what happens to your body

I have a young girl in my youth group who almost took a whole bottle of ibuprofen but someone walked in. I have heard that it won't kill you but only give you permanent health damage. I am thinking if I can tell her specifically what might happen to her body that that might be a barrier to her trying that again.

No one really dies from ibuprofen overdose per se, rather death cases occur from complications from the the adverse effects of the overdose. How long since you took the tablets? Better check for these symptoms for the first 24 hours and better have yourself checked in a hospital.
